Nobody reads this far down right? I'll just shill for J-Novel Club a bit because I love that they sell DRM free Ebooks. Go buy the series from their website.

China: New guidelines are an unacceptable escalation in attack on Taiwan’s freedom of expression, rights group says (www.article19.org)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/317669

Archived link

On 21 June 2024, China issued alarming new guiding opinions under the 2005 Anti-Secession Law.

The guidelines threaten to impose a maximum potential death penalty for a range of vaguely defined supporting ‘Taiwan independence’ activities. They allow Chinese courts to conduct trials in absentia and appear to apply to both Taiwanese nationals and foreigners alike, in an unacceptable escalation in Beijing’s assault on the freedom of expression of the people of Taiwan and the international community.

Michael Caster, Asia Digital Program Manager at ARTICLE 19, commented:

“In these new guidelines, Beijing is seeking to wield the maximum threat of in absentia death sentences to instill fear and gag independent expression on all things Taiwan. Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with preserving cross-straits peace, as Beijing would have it. This development serves to further bully the international community into isolating Taiwan. The only acceptable response is to redouble solidarity and accelerate coordination and cooperation with Taiwan.
